The Global Background Tweaker is a developer gadget found in the data of LittleBigPlanet 3 that toggles the visibility of the level's background. Like other Global Tweaker gadgets, it is activated when a player enters the built-in trigger radius, or when it receives a digital ON signal through its input.
The tweak that determines whether to show or hide the background is not available to the end user; in order to switch between the two settings freely, at least two Global Background Tweakers (one in each state) must be found.
Usage in Adventure Mode
In Adventure Mode, the Global Background Tweaker is used to hide the level background's geometry to save resources, e.g. when the player enters an area where the background is fully obscured by a wall. Typically there are two tweakers: one to hide the background when the player enters a room where it is obscured, and another to show it again when they leave. This setup is often paired with the Platform Sensor so that the background only gets culled if the level is being played on a PlayStation 3 system.
The Global Background Tweaker appears in the following Adventure Mode levels:
- Newton's Airship
- Stitchem Manor
- Shake, Rattle & Roll
- Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
- Flip-Flopped Folios
- Belly of the Beast
- Four Chums Head To Craftworld (Part 1)
